How to Write
This Book!

You're going
to be the author.

Jimmy Huston

This is a young author's guide to writing a book.

All authors, even the ones who wrote the classics, started out as kids. Nobody knows when the masters started writing, but if they'd had help early on, maybe those classics wouldn't have to be assigned reading.

With early literary intervention Faulkner, Hemingway, Twain, and Capote could've had a giant step forward into the world of writing. An aspiring Homer could have had guidance in his writing. Little Dante could've done even better. And young Shakespeare, too. It's not too late for the kids of today. Start here. Write This Book!
